Since 1980, U.S. Men Are Becoming Wimps.

[Alcott]

Sloppy use of words indicates sloppy thinking. Neither is good.

How "sloppy" a word is wimp, anyway? Merriam Webster defines it as "a weak, cowardly, or ineffectual person." That lacks a bit of precision as compared, for instance, to diabetic. To divert the issue to the proper use of a word that that is quite indefinite, along with its synonyms-- wuss, sissy, pushover, doormat, et al-- is an evasion.

And rather defensive. Very odd.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

I know scientists and doctors who would call it "wimpy".

So they are ignorant also of the meaning of the word.

You are correct in our citing of the definition. Note there is no mention of testosterone level involved in the definition.

Be careful - that conspiracy was started by the Ponch

Salty, I've never known or met a white lightning drinker that I would call a wimp ... and anyone who does probably should think about their health before doing so. Now some of these old boys might not have been, shall we say, doing a lot of women chasing, but being a wimp? Oh no. :laugh:

You know a word either means what it means else there is no meaning in any word. Why we could use that argument in scripture and some do and prove anything they want by the misuse of words ... as well as other techniques of deception.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Speaking of truth and deception, do you agree that todays men are wimps compared to the men of the '70's ? Do you think it has something to do with testosterone levels ?


You haven't said a thing about the topic, you've just whined about the title.

Talk about deception.

 

[Bro. James]

Maybe the statistical data is flawed--kind of like global warming, aka climate change. Sometimes the makers of male hormone tablets are trying to increase their profit margins.

The advent of the PC may have an affect on male behavior.

Real men still love Jesus--their numbers seem to be dwindling.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I saw a "mauve" colored car today on the highway.....now that's wimp!:smilewinkgrin:

Was it a VW with the little flower on the dash?:laugh:

I do but I believe it is because of the loss of a real work ethic.

Some men are wimps, most are not. I do not think it has to do with testosterone levels. It has to do with character, beliefs, bravery, ethics, standing up for what one believes is right, self-sacrifice, being willing to stand up and be counted.

From what I have read testosterone levels are dropping. There are a variety of reasons for this.

There are a number of other factors besides age that can influence testosterone levels in a negative way. Here's how your lifestyle can affect your testosterone levels:

Increasing weight can cause testosterone levels to drop. The more the body fat, especially around the midsection, the lower your testosterone levels.

Inactivity is another leading factor. For optimizing your levels, you must work out at least 30 minutes every day. Lifting weights is the best form of exercise for increasing testosterone.

Cardiovascular exercises like running, jogging, swimming, and biking also stimulate the production of this hormone and will help you in shedding a few extra pounds.

An unhealthy diet can sap you of your testosterone levels. You must include foods rich in protein and good fats to build up testosterone.
Include lean cuts of meat, eggs, salmon, mackerel, walnuts, almonds, avocados, and olive oil in your diet to stock up on proteins and healthy fats.

Multivitamins can help to provide you with the necessary vitamins and minerals which could be lacking from your diet. Nutritional supplements like Ageless Male also help to boost testosterone and energy levels.

Limit your alcohol consumption to one or two glasses a day. Alcohol abuse can cause a sharp decline in testosterone levels. It also saps you of energy, diminishes libido, and increases belly fat.

Irregular sleeping patterns can wreak havoc with your routine. Try your best to maintain a consistent sleeping pattern. Stress and anxiety are equally to blame. Reduce stress by practicing yoga, meditation, and a host of other relaxing techniques.

Low testosterone is associated with a poor libido, low energy levels, low sperm count, and irritability. If you suffer from testosterone deficiency, try to lose weight through exercises, give up a sedentary lifestyle, and improve your eating habits before you resort to taking additional supplements. Talk to your doctor before you begin a health regime to see whether it'll be helpful for you.

Also testosterone levels drop with age. Does this mean that all men become wimps with age. No it doesn't in my opinion.

Testosterone levels drop after a man has children.

Testosterone, that most male of hormones, takes a dive after a man becomes a parent. And the more he gets involved in caring for his children — changing diapers, jiggling the boy or girl on his knee, reading “Goodnight Moon” for the umpteenth time — the lower his testosterone drops.

Are all fathers wimps. Don't think so.

So it is obvious that testosterone levels do not play a part in whether a man is a wimp or not.


I have also read that over the years men's sperm count has become lower. There are known factors as to why this happens. Read:

Since when is correcting the misuse of language whining. I cannot help it that you did not understand what the word wimp means.

Of I know you believe in what Socrates said:

“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”

[Bro. Curtis]

Yawn.

Crabby, if all of that is true, why are you such a sloppy poster ?

 

[Bro. Curtis]

I also think it's funny that you're so bent on this thread, when you've left so many of yours to die lonesome deaths.


Come to think of it, you called Chris Kyle a "coward".

I don't think you have quite the grip on words that you tell us you do.

 

[Crabtownboy]

Yawn.

Crabby, if all of that is true, why are you such a sloppy poster ?

Still will not admit your mistake in the word. What about the information I gave you. Do you now see that testosterone has nothing to do with a person being a wimp or not? Tell me, in your understanding, what is the function of testosterone?

Are all old men wimps?

Are all fathers wimps?

Again your remind me of what Socrates said:

When the debate is over, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Slander ? What a joke.

Crabtownboy, I've read your words. And I have read the words of the doctors and scientists who use the same words I have. Guess which ones write better ?

You should now address the thread where you misread your own link concerning the supreme court, since your so focused on the mote in my eye.

But you'll probably put up a stupid red herring drawing.

I refer you to my first post, where the link shows how to keep levels up. If you're going to comment, you should read the link.
Those that let their levels drop too much become wimpy. How many times you want me to say it ?

Is this thread hitting a personal nerve with you ?

So you are saying that all old men are wimps, right?

And you are saying that all fathers are wimps, rigtht?

Tell you what, if you want to see how much of a wimp I am and how much of a wimp you are come back here and walk Clay Street with me ... first in the day time and a second time at night.

Go with me to SE DC and walk with me. I firmly believe you are too much of a wimp to do either.

And you might try walking with me in Fulks Run, VA or maybe in a few of the hollows near Stanley, VA and we can see how tough you are. Would you like to meet some moon shiners on their own territory?

No, you cannot carry a weapon. Weapons in such situations are wimps.

Wrong. I've spelled it out, over and over. You should know my answer, by now. Your lack of cognitive skills is not my problem.

Tell you what, if you want to see how much of a wimp I am and how much of a wimp you are come back here and walk Clay Street with me ... first in the day time and a second time at night.

Pffft. You'd have to give up your cyber-anonimity. Challenge disregarded as unserious.

Go with me to SE DC and walk with me. I firmly believe you are too much of a wimp to do either.

Red herring. You are too much of a coward to come out of hiding. So stop it.

And you might try walking with me in Fulks Run, VA or maybe in a few of the hollows near Stanley, VA and we can see how tough you are. Would you like to meet some moon shiners on their own territory?

Do you think this is making you look tough ? What is this ? I've been to the Persian Gulf three times. And we got moonshiners and meth cooks galore out here. Mostly on the reservation, on which I am a honkey-tonk hero.

No, you cannot carry a weapon. Weapons in such situations are wimps.

Weapons are wimps ? What are their testosterone levels ? Under what circumstances would you consider them NOT wimps ?
